THE ADVANCE. Mrs. Jameson : The bread of life is love; the salt of life is work. Tears are often the telescope by which men see for into heaven. In New York last year 12,432 wives procured divorces from their husbands on the ground of drunkenness. R. Cecil: We are too fond of our own will. We want to be doing what fancy mighty things;, but the great point is to do small things, w hen called in the right spirit. Teach self-denial, and make its practice pleasurable, and you create for the world a destiny more sublime than ever issued from the brain of the wildest dreamer. Lowell: All men know not where to look for truth save in the narrow well of self, will find their own image at the bottom and mistake it for what they are seeking. Temptations to do wrong confront every person. To resist these is to add to our strength and honor; to yield to them is to stop down A**—the stormy way of shame and sorrow. George McDonald : If instead of a gem or a CO uld cast the gift a lovely thought into the heart of a friend, be giving as the an gels must (give. The mo|e we labor for a cause, ThemjgVe we prize the goal we win, ,~»-A'nd sweeter seems the rich reward, When gates of victory let Us in. The following prayer is found in the writings of Plato : “Othou, who art the King of Heaven, grant us what is needful to us; whether we ask it, or whether we ask it not I Rufuse us what be hurtful to us, even if we should ask it.” Councilman Hendericks is not so lonely as he was in his efforts to check the spread of the bar-rooms. The 1890 Club elected men on his line and now Mr. Hendericks has most excellent company. All honor to him that he was just as faithful in a minority as in a majority. Gospel temperance meeting next Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock in Bishop Henderick’s Mission on Mari etta street near end of car line. Dr. Warren Ar Candler of Oxford will ad dress the meeting. These meetings have developed unto large crowds and enthusiastic gatherings. Dean Stanley: Each one of us- is bound to make the little circle in which he lives better and happier; each of us is bound to see that out of that small circle the widest good may flow; each of us may have fixed in his mind the thought that out of a single household may flow influences that shall stimulate the whole com munity wealth and the whole civilized world.

Personal. W. B. Correll, formerly of Atlanta, but now of Augusta, Ga., spent last Sunday in this city. He says he likes Augusta first-rate, but Atlanta better. To Ye Banqueters. Sam Jones, while preaching in Texas last year, made the following remarks, which may be applied to our Christian (?) banqueters, and to those who take a “little wine for the stomach’s sake” : “You preachers ought to be mighty careful where you go and what you do. When you go to a dining look out, don’t drink wine, for when you do your gun is spiked. It may prove to be the ruin of the children who see you do it. The fellow who broke into the vestry of the Episcopal church and drank the wine Sunday night is not half so bad as you are. Everybody will have a contempt for him, but if you drink it, you will iufiuence others and send them to ruin. Brother if you get sick and whisky is the only thing that will save your life, go onto heaven. You tell the people that it’s a heap better piace than earth, then what do you want to scratch around here for and drink whisky? Go on to heaven. “Well, they say, didn’t the Saviour make wind 9 Yes. but he made it out of water. Brethren, go and drink all the wine you can make out of pure water, but don’t put nothing else in it. THE DEVIL’S GENIUS. Free Lunches—More Food Given Away in the Saloon than the Resturants sell. The Rev. J. J. Reed, D. D., writing to the Christian Advocate, sets forth some plain and startling truths. There are two things that cannot be said about the arch enemy of mankind. We cannot say he is indolent; we can not say he is illiberal. Whatever the ultimate diabolical end may be, how desperate or how destructive, one thing must be admitted; the devil is most enterprising in accompishing that end. The professing Christian may be prudent in all expenditures looking to the conversion of the world; the church itself may be very conservative in using such appliances as may at tract the curious worldling to the fold of Christ; but, depend upon it, the devil is very lavish in his expendi tures, very bold in his enterprises, and generous to a fault. His emissaries are inoculated with the same enter prising spirit. They offer every in ducement to lure men, women, and children into the broad road that leadeth to destruction. “ The way of the transgressor is hard,” usually at the last, but the entrance upon that way is made as attractive as the gilded saloon and gifted siren can make it. The theatre, the ball-room, the gam bling parlor—the vilest dens of iniquity —have their baits, their runners, their procurers. The capital invested, the labor employed in the electric-lighted resorts of worldly attraction and plea sure are far beyond what even thought ful but unobservant men might sup pose. Think of the unconsecrated gen ius employed in producing the lascivi ous romance, the demoralizing drama, the corrupting ballet, the damning pictorial press, and the all-attractive but irreligious and immortal Sunday newspaper, and you have only a frac tional veiw, the merest glimpse of the entereprise of the devil. It may be a striking illustration of that enterprise —we give in on the authority of one who claims he does not guess, but ab solutely knows; the amount of food given away in the gin-mills of this city with drink is greater than all the resturants in the citysell. We have nev er seen this statement|in print. It seems astounding. We may discredit it. It is given by a well-informed and relia ble business man, whose occupation brings him into intimate relations with the failing restaurants of this great city. It is something.to think about, to inquire into and to profit by. After This Week All those who have not paid their subscription will be ent off. Office at 65 1-2 E. Alabama St. Demorest Prize ('outeat. The contest for the Demorest medal betwen six young ladies took place Tuesday night in Asbury Church. It was held under the auspices of the Y. W. C. T. U, who meet in that church every Sunday afternoon. The contest together with two tableaux was managed by Mrs. Sexton. The young ladies all did well. The medal was awarded to little Miss Trotty. We wish to especially commend the selec tions recited by the contestants. They were good in word and most ex cellent in sentiment. Such contest are bound to do great good for the cause of prohibition. We trust there will be more of them in Atlanta. Let the good work bravely and persistently go on until everybody is fully alive to the great ails brought on the community by the accursed traffic in alcoholic liq uors. The Demorest medal contests aim to educate not only the partici pants but the hearers. We hope our lady prohibitionists will have more of such in the near future. Sawed the Saloon in Two. Chicago Daily News. Street Commissioner Patterson of Kansas City, Kas., and his corps of workmen, on January 22, sawed and tore down the Kansas end of thenoto rious Bill Lewis’ saloon in Toad-a- Loup. The Missouri end is left stand ing. The saloon stood on the state line of Kansas and Missouri, and Lewis ran it without a license. The exact loca tion of the line was never determined until on January 22, and when arrest ed by the officers of one state always claimed to be doing business in tn other. On Jan. 22, the state line was definitely located, and the part of the building found to be on the Kansas side was sawed off' and torn down, which proceeding is authorized by the Kansas prohibition law. THE EVIDENCE MILL. What a Member of W. C. T. U. Saw. The lliuor Law Violated n> Well as Nuudiiy Lans Hegulniioii a Failure. The “evidence mill G in full blast. The machinery was set in motion last week and everything is running along smoothly. The following article was ground out last week and handed to us for publication: Since Dr. Hawthorne has been pick ing up evidence concerning the failure of high-license, and the laws to control the “ Demon ” in the' Gate City of Georgia I conclude it will not be amiss for a W. C. T. U. to furnish a few items to help prove the Dr. is right when he tells us and proves it that the situation is appalling; and that our law is a dead letter in many respects. Out on Jones street one day last year, I passed a beer saloon, on the door of which was the sign “ No Minors allow ed in here ” —I knew the city govern ment had decided that no woman should be allowed to go in any of the drinking hells, for Mayor Glenn said it was not proper, and that “drinking liquor must be confinedfto the strong er sex ”, but, I confess w’ith all that, I was not surprised to see the saloon keeper hand a pitcher of liquor to a colored girl, who was standing just outside the front door. He thus served his master w ell, and no doubt laughed in his sleeve at the men who pretend they are able to chain and control the spirit of evil. Another day, I happened about three o’clock one afternoon, to be in front of a drug store on Marietta street. A doggery is very near where I have no doubt prescriptions (?) can be filled if the drug store happens to “ run dry.” I suppose I remained before that drug store twenty, or thirty minutes, at at the farthest, and I saw a procession of men and boys go into that high licensed barroom, that made my heart ache with grief and fear. A cripple soldier hobbled up and look through the windows with longing glances,and more than one young boy and girl glanced at vulgar pictures about the door. Nineteen men and two beard less boys, walked into this inferno, when mothers, wives, sisters and daughters are commanded to “stand back”, as if they were going into the most delightful and most reputable place in the city of Atlanta. A police man paced up and down, before that awful place, and if his eyes were faithful to him he must have seen those poor boys go in, although the mocking sign on the door, says, “no mi nors allowed in here.” Nine men came out but where were the twelve? Two lit tle children were carried in by the man who wears a white and coat apron, and came out smacking their innocent lips, as if they two had tasted the devil’s broth, and two glasses of something that look like “the wine when it is red” was carried into another store above the doggery, to two women who were not allowed to go where their little chil dren could be carried, and w hom our conservative mayor had said “they must not drink.” But they came to the door, from which the man had emerged onl£ a few minutes before with those dear little children on his arm. Our saviour said, “Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven ” —Was that man bringing them to Christ ? Who was guiltless in this horrible transaction. Sam Jones, while preaching in Texas made the following remarks: “Do you know why I fight whisky? I’ts because saloons are legs for all kinds of deviltry to walk on. Every saloon is a leg for the devil. After a man is drunk he’s ready for most anything. One reason why I never liked Thack eray as an author was because he un covered hnman nature and made it so sickening. Let’s change the situation an uncover whisky, dishonored virtue debauchery. Let’s make them odious. EDWARDS & SON, —GALLERY OF Photographic Art, 56% Whitehall St., ATLANTA, GA. All work first-class Old pictures copied and enlarged.
